PMN, PMN-2 and PMF-1 Landmines Detection Using Active Infrared Thermography with Microwave Excitation
Journal Title: Problemy Mechatroniki. Uzbrojenie, lotnictwo, inżynieria bezpieczeństwa - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, active infrared thermography is used to detect antipersonnel landmines: PMN, PMN-2 and PMF-1. Mentioned landmines have very low metal content and their casings are made of plastic, therefore are considered as hard to detect using metal detectors. Presented new method of landmines detection, uses high power microwave source to heat the ground with buried landmine. Obtained temperature difference can be observed on the ground surface with sensitive thermovision camera.
